- snapplebobapple 4y agoEven if it's in there cyanide is pretty readily inactivated by the body because we have been dealing with it as a plant toxin to stop us from eating said plant forever. The issue is just avoiding a dose that overloads our own treatment system in the event we don't eliminate it through other means like heating.
